While we might have to wait until&nbsp;the next generation for their efforts to fully pay off, for now&nbsp;the platform has&nbsp;become&nbsp;the best place to play third-party titles &#8211; especially on the powerful Xbox One X.<\/p>\n<p>Despite lacking high-profile exclusives like Sony&rsquo;s PlayStation 4&nbsp;or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/top-10\/top-10-nintendo-switch-games\">Nintendo Switch<\/a>, the Xbox has a&nbsp;load of backwards compatible titles to choose from too&nbsp;&#8211; making it tough to unearth the best titles for your precious time.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for you, we&rsquo;ve put together a list of seven titles we recommend you try out whenever you can. Some are underappreciated, others&nbsp;overlooked, but all offer something to make them worth your time.<\/p>\n<h3>Sunset Overdrive<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sunset Overdrive\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/mnVT-Y1utLabFGfpmWbTu8N8qaiLKQVhkaONK8cGt_8\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzL3N1bnNldF9vdmVyZHJpdmUuanBn\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 338px;\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:10px;\">Sunset Overdrive was Microsoft&#8217;s only exclusive from Insomniac (Picture: Microsoft)&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Insomniac Games may now be a Sony-owned studio, but Xbox fans will always have Sunset Overdrive. It may be a few years old now but there still remains nothing like it on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Set in the most colourful apocalypse you&rsquo;ll find in gaming, Sunset Overdrive shows us the danger of heavily caffeinated energy drinks, as they turn humanity into zombies. It&rsquo;s not all bad, though &#8211; your custom character is able to wall-run, swing, slide, climb, and bounce all over the city, all while shotgunning the infected into pools of goo.<\/p>\n<p>Sunset Overdrive also features some of the best respawn animations in gaming&nbsp;&#8211; being bought back to life Terminator-style never gets old.<\/p>\n<h3>Warframe<\/h3>\n<div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b0GwWzhH4oc\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b0GwWzhH4oc?rel=0\" style=\"border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" tabindex=\"-1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b0GwWzhH4oc?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/b0GwWzhH4oc\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite launching in 2013 (alongside the new consoles), Warframe maintains a legion of followers to this day &#8211; and for good reason.<\/p>\n<p>This free-to-play third-person action title puts you in the boots of a space ninja, capable of running on walls, somersaulting, shooting, firing arrows, sliding, slashing and goodness knows what else. It can be a grind to get started, but once the game opens up it can easily consume your free time, with a loot chase that offers genuine variety in the way you play.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s also arguably one of the more generous free-to-play titles, with fresh content being added on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<h3>Divinity: Original Sin II<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Divinity Original Sin 2\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/SHgclJRjuW2BCgAw51PZecjFNK-23iSXAtcADpRIoqE\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzL2RpdmluaXR5X29yaWdpbmFsX3Npbl8yLmpwZWc\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 338px;\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:10px;\">Divinity Original Sin 2 is one of the best RPGs around (Picture: Larian Studios)&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t let Divinity: Original Sin II&rsquo;s isometric perspective fool you &#8211; this is no Diablo-style dungeon crawler (not that we&rsquo;d mind that, of course).<\/p>\n<p>Original Sin II is an RPG that&rsquo;s the closest you can get to playing D&amp;D without rolling dice, with a deep lore base standing as the foundation of a believable fantasy world and truly memorable characters. It helps that it&rsquo;s excellently written, too, and playable entirely in co-op.<\/p>\n<p>The real highlight is combat, which takes place in turns but with the environment taken into account &#8211; meaning you can set fire to an area to cause damage, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Also, playing as the Undead means you can&rsquo;t shop at towns without scaring off the townsfolk so you have to wear a bucket on your head. Instant 10 out of 10.<\/p>\n<h3>State of Decay 2<\/h3>\n<div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qjLOFZjGClY\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qjLOFZjGClY?rel=0\" style=\"border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" tabindex=\"-1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qjLOFZjGClY?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/qjLOFZjGClY\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There&rsquo;s no zombie game quite like State of Decay, and this sequel amps up the role-playing elements to create one of the most unique games on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>State of Decay 2 sets you loose in the zombie apocalypse, but this isn&#8217;t a typical&nbsp;&ldquo;one&nbsp;vs thousands of undead&rdquo; story. Once you die, you&rsquo;re dead, and you&rsquo;ll change perspective to another survivor in your camp. In fact, even the camp itself has to be built from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>It launched in a buggy state, but State of Decay 2 is quietly one of the most enjoyable co-op experiences on the platform. As you and your comrades weigh up the potential risks of raiding a group of bandits for supplies &#8211; what if one is injured? Do you have the right medication? What if there&rsquo;s nothing there? What if gunfire attracts zombies? These are all considerations&nbsp;and making split decisions always feels fun.<\/p>\n<h3>RAGE 2<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rage 2\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/QoRpZknbS-4H1VR2ebtMkz-aCAoH3mDRKqh6kyJvEMY\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzL3JhZ2VfMi5qcGc\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 338px;\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:10px;\">Rage 2 released earlier this year, believe it or not (Picture: Bethesda)&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While hardly a hidden gem since it came out earlier this year and was a big AAA-level project, RAGE 2 is still however&nbsp;often forgotten among the quality of what came out in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>As it&#8217;s now heavily reduced in price, we can&rsquo;t recommend it enough. It&rsquo;s open-world is pretty dull, but the gunplay is so good that every battle feels like a reward.<\/p>\n<p>Add some insane superpowers (like a ground pound that can turn mutant monsters into mush) and a bladed boomerang that can lop the heads off of enemies, and it&rsquo;s hard not to love it &#8211; as stupid as it is.<\/p>\n<h3>NBA 2K:&nbsp;Playgrounds 2<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"NBA 2K Playgrounds 2\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/MW3hfE6kboCYDVhA1esoBhMu2nFk85mFadROjjLL1JM\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzL25iYV8ya19wbGF5Z3JvdW5kc18yLmpwZw\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 338px;\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:10px;\">NBA gets a colourful makeover (Picture: 2K)&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If NBA 2K is too straight-laced for you, then consider NBA 2K: Playgrounds 2 the perfect antidote to that game&#8217;s photo-real visuals and sweat physics.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing on two-on-two pick up games between bobble-headed caricatures of the NBA&#8217;s best, Playgrounds 2 has some issues (namely unlocking players via blind packs &#8211; although thankfully not through micro-transactions) but offers almost slapstick basketball fun.<\/p>\n<p>The first time you shove an opponent to the ground, lay the ball off to a teammate, before receiving it again for a somersault mid-air dunk &#8211;&nbsp;you can&#8217;t help but smile.<\/p>\n<h3>Crackdown 3<\/h3>\n<div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pAvjS04LBwg\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pAvjS04LBwg?rel=0\" style=\"border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" tabindex=\"-1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pAvjS04LBwg?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/pAvjS04LBwg\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Alright,&nbsp;it&rsquo;s not a great game&nbsp;and it does feel like a game from the Xbox 360, perhaps understandably given the title&rsquo;s long development cycle.<\/p>\n<p>But, maybe that&rsquo;s OK &#8211; the gradual levelling of your agent from dodging bullets and ducking behind cars, to throwing those same cars at gunships or driving your car up walls is well worth experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>With Xbox Game Pass, there&rsquo;s really no reason not to at least give it a try if you fancy cheap throwback&nbsp;thrills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of our list?
